Looking for ConTeXt commands for ...

[Mohamed Bana]

I'am trying to convert a doc to ConTeXt, and I'm also trying to make it 
as close to the original as possible.  How do the command below 
translate to ConTeXt?

1.  \geometry{a4paper, textwidth=5.5in, textheight=8.5in, 
marginparsep=7pt, marginparwidth=.6in}

2.  \scriptsize => \tfxx?

3.  \LARGE and \Large

4.  \Huge and \HUGE

thanks

For a4 paper use

\setuppapersize[a4][a4]

For setting geometry, see \setuplayout.

Semantically, \scriptsize = \tfxx, \Large et. al. are \tfa \tfb \tfc \tfd 
\tfe, but that may not give you visually the same appearance due to 
different defaults in Latex and Context. In Latex, these sizes are set as 
part of the documentclass, or size10.clo, size12.clo, etc. So, the most 
reliable way to reconstruct the visual appearance will be to figure out 
what sizes they correspond to in latex, and then set the context font 
environmet to match the latex values.

Where do you got this information?

The correct setup is \setuppapersize[A4][A4].

Sorry. I always use letter paper, and was extrapolating in my head :-)

\tfe doesn't seem to work, the others do.

because tfe is not defined by default

Only sizes upto \tfd are predefined but you could define more.

\definefontsize[e]
\definefontsize[f]

\definebodyfontenvironment
   [default]
   [e=2.488,
    f=2.986]

\starttext
\tf  tf  \par
\tfa tfa \par
\tfb tfb \par
\tfc tfc \par
\tfd tfd \par
\tfe tfe \par
\tff tff \par
\stoptext

It's a bit strange that \tfe  is not defined:
in font-ini.mkiv
\def\magstep#1% \relax removed, otherwise space after it sticks, else added
  {\ifcase#1 \@m\or1200\or1440\or1728\or2074\or2488\or\@m\fi}
so \magstep5 is defined
